Intercultural Attitudes in Pedagogy University Students

Abstract

Intercultural education has been developing at the international level with greater acceptance, but its implementation requires timely knowledge of the attitudes in favor or against it. For these reasons, the objective of the study was to interpret the intercultural attitudes presented by university students in the fourth cycle of pedagogy during the beginning and end of an academic semester at a private university in Lima-Peru. The sample consisted of 74 students who completed a questionnaire of 17 items grouped in the dimensions of racist prejudice, cultural prejudice, and the perception of intercultural education. Finally, it can be concluded that there are acceptable and good intercultural attitudes in university student teachers of a private university during the beginning and end of an academic semester, but not significant.
